According the Hindustan Times, Global Vehicles, the Atlanta-based company that slated to the exclusive U.S. distributor Mahindra & Mahindra vehicles, alleges that more than $95 million has been spent getting the country ready to buy the Indian Pik-Ups. The problem is, and has been, that Mahindra still hasn’t provided any vehicles to sell. The Indian company waiting paperwork and testing for EPA approval to sell the trucks here.

GV tired waiting idly, has brought lawsuit against Mahindra for having missed two soft deadlines two hard ones. GV claims the delay has been “inordinate,” Mahindra says the lawsuit “without merit.” We say that no matter who’s right, this not the way bring truck market.
